    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not know how best to prove that, but I am a wife and mother. Does the Senator want me to bring my baby to the Senate? I was trying to indicate that once the Government makes a promise to deliver something, it must be done. It is true that Class One pupils in this country were promised laptops and that has not been fulfilled. We know that there is a pilot project that the Government is undertaking in some schools. We also know that the teachers are not competent in the use of these gadgets. Therefore, training should be fast-tracked, so that we can achieve Vision 2030, as well as the Education 2030 Framework for Action. The other recommendation was on integrating age-appropriate comprehensive sexuality education into the curriculum, which would contribute to healthy lifestyles and gender equality in education. It is the work of the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) to review the curriculum and I believe they are doing it. We know that substantial funds are allocated to the Ministry of Education, but there is very little that is being done. We know that counties are in charge of tertiary, technical education as well as vocational skills. Every constituency is trying to set up a technical institution, but it would be important if the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology could streamline this so that we can have a seamless system of education. We should not have many institutions offering the same courses because that will not help our children in this country.
